World's Most Dangerous Leaders 2012

Kim Jong Un inherited two things after the death of his infamous father, Kim Jong Il: the position of Supreme Commander of North Korea and the epithet of “dangerous world leader.” Relatively little is known about the late twenty something leader other than having received a portion of his education in Switzerland in the mid-1990’s. Thus far, reports indicate that the “great successor” plans to carry on much in the same austere fashion as his father. Yet Kim Jong Un’s future actions are difficult to predict and many worry that the young, nuclear-armed leader may feel he has something to prove.
